Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened to room temperature)
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
- 3 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
- 3 medium very ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray. Set it aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition. Then, incorporate the vanilla and Greek yogurt, blending thoroughly. Gradually add the flour mixture and mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the mashed bananas and chocolate chips into the batter. Pour it into the prepared loaf pan. For extra flavor, you can sprinkle some additional chocolate chips on top or layer them in the batter.
- Bake for 65 to 78 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. To prevent the edges from browning too quickly, cover loosely with foil in the first half of baking. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a lighter texture, be sure not to overmix the batter once the flour is incorporated.
Using very ripe bananas will enhance the flavor and moisture of the bread.
You can substitute Greek yogurt with sour cream for a different taste.
